Herpes

Herpes Type 1&2 testing is performed by using the FDA approved HerpeSelect® IgG ELISA test. This test is a type specific herpes test that can detect the presence of virus antibodies by using a Glycoprotein G-based technology.
Some people may be detectable for a past exposure to herpes as soon as 4 weeks from a suspected contact although most of the population would be detectable with this test after 12 weeks. The turnaround time for this test is typically 2-3 business days. The sensitivity and specificity values ranging from 91-100%.
